On June 27, 2009, Elbert County sheriff’s deputies responded to a disturbance involving Sumpter and the civil process server, a retired firefighter. Sumpter had a gun in his front pocket when he threatened to shoot the victim in the head. The victim’s son, who was in the car at the time, overheard the threat, said Michelle Nail, public information officer for the sheriff’s office. “Both Mr. Sumpter and the victim contacted Elbert County Communications requesting a deputy,” Nail said. “However, when the deputy arrived, Mr. Sumpter refused to come out and speak with him. Ultimately, he did come out, at which time he was arrested.”Nail said a search warrant for Sumpter’s home revealed two handguns.
